Bin Laden assasins eliminated

[fullyautomatix]

It looks like the entire SEAL unit which assasinated Bin laden has been wiped out in a revenege killing.


BBC News - US special forces Afghan helicopter downed 'by Taliban'

All that trillions spent on war and they still havent managed to sort it out.

What makes you so happy?

That unit is larger than 20 soldiers who sadly died like this, and chances are those who did the job on bin Laden are on well deserved holiday.

Either way there is nothing to be happy about and if anything it shows that elite teams don't just go to deal with a few high priority targets, they risk their lifes far more frequently for far lesser targets and die in the line of duty.

Very unfortunate for a soldier to die like this - very odd too, I'd speculatively say Iran is involved in this - RPG won't just down such large helicoper just like this, it's surface to air missile and there should not be many left there.

RIP

US sources say the special forces were from the Navy Seal unit which killed Osama Bin Laden, but are "unlikely" to be the same personnel.

It seems improbable that the NSWDG only has thirty members, so it's hardly "the entire SEAL unit".

sorted what out ?

The way vBulletin fails to handle HTML entities in titles grabbed from other sites, leading to stuff like

'by Taliban'

instead of

'by Taliban'
